Triablogue Master Index

Welcome to the Triablogue Master Index.

It is an understatement to say that the Triablogue team has been prolific in its literary output. The purpose of this index is to make it easier to access and benefit from this abundance of material, especially those posts that are more substantive and timeless.

Jason Engwer, Steve Hays and Patrick Chan have already done a good deal of work here, and so I draw on their efforts with much appreciation.

If you're new at Triablogue and want to offer a substantial comment, correction, refutation, monologue, diatribe or some such thing, take a moment and browse this selection of posts first, so that you don't spend time repeating stale objections or failing to anticipate obvious counter-replies. Also, if you try to post to an old thread, it will first enter moderation before appearing. (This policy is to minimize undetected spam.)

Sometimes a post is included here because it generated a useful discussion or debate within the comments section, so don't always limit yourself to the main body of the post. I try to indicate the nature of that discussion if it cannot be inferred from the title of the post. (If a discussion happens to have material from a banned poster, you can reveal his or her comments by clicking "Post a Comment" at the bottom of a screen.)

Sometimes material within a post will have links to other material. With necessary exceptions, I've done my best to make it generally unnecessary to follow these links, and rather to include the cited entries in this index.

Occasionally it was difficult to classify a post under one heading. However, in order to minimize redundancy, I have decided to avoid placing the same material under multiple headings.

The topics and posts here are by no means exhaustive (nor are they meant to be), so if you cannot find what you are looking on this page, I recommend an advanced Google search:

Naturalistic DelusionsA
discussion of hallucinatory phenomena leads to an exchange over whether
natural laws are as problematic for supernatural theories as natural
ones.

Bell, Book and CandleSince
miracles don't occur today, it's difficult to believe that one occurred
two thousand years ago. We've moved beyond the superstitious,
pre-scientific worldview of the ancients.

Borrowed CosmologyGentile influence in areas of cosmology favor the Christian position rather than skeptical theories.

The Flood and the Flat-Earth"One of the glaring incongruities in reading standard attacks on Noah’s
flood is the totally disconnect between the view of the world which
critics ascribe to the narrator, and the view of the world which critics
use as their frame of reference in attacking the flood account."

Dagoods DeadwoodSometimes skeptical text critical questions are based on ignorance of the relevant literature and cultural considerations. See also the follow up here.Talking Out of TurnA response to comments by two Muslim apologists. See also the follow up here.

The Historical Roots of the Reformation And EvangelicalismThis is an index by Jason Engwer that links to about fifty posts related to issues such as: apostolic succession; patristic evidence in relation to the canon, the papacy, the eucharist, etc.; infant baptism; mariology; sola Scriptura; etc.
